PER CURIAM:
Stephen E. Bishop appeals from the district courts orders
denying his motion for a hearing and granting the governments
motion to set aside a satisfaction of judgment that was allegedly
entered by mistake. Bishop contends that the district court should
have held a hearing and allowed him to present evidence as to the
scope of the agreement.

He also contends that the court erred in

determining that the agreement settled some, rather than all, of

the governments claims against him.

Having previously granted

Bishops uncontested motion to submit on briefs, we have reviewed

the briefs, the joint appendix, and the district courts opinions
and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible error.

Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

States v. Bishop, No. CA-96-2057-5 (S.D.W. Va. July 9, 1999 & Mar.
